Welcome to the Great Expectations Education shop — a small collection of resources created for families and tutors who want reading and spelling to feel achievable.
Each pack is designed to help children build word knowledge with clear structure and minimal fuss. You’ll find phonics games, word-study activities, and spelling tools developed through years of specialist teaching and home use.
The Forge
“I had believed in the best parlour as a most elegant saloon… the front door as a mysterious portal of the Temple of State… and the forge as the glowing road to manhood and independence. There was no fire like the forge fire and the kitchen fire at home… Joe… a man of simple faith, steady purpose, and good heart.”
— Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
I design every resource with real learners in mind — children who may be dyslexic, reluctant, or simply need learning broken into smaller, more logical steps. These are the same tools I use in my own teaching practice.
Explore the collection and find practical, parent-friendly materials that support both skill and confidence.
